There was darkness in the vision.

Lin Mo lost control of the character.

Looking at the system prompt "Character Dead" in his field of vision, after a brief darkness, Lin Mo returned to his private space.

The mission failed.

The character also died.

However, the harvest was huge. When Lin Mo opened his inventory, he could no longer find the game scene card of 'Flesh and Blood Canteen on the Glutton'.

This is a card that can only be used once.

And there are no extra ones.

In other words, Lin Mo now has no way to enter the game to look for clues.

"This isn't a game at all. It's connected to the nightmare world."

Based on his understanding of the game "Death Chamber", the game scenes he had experienced before were most likely real.

"What is the origin of this game?"

When Lin Mo thinks about this problem, he thinks a lot, and the more he thinks, the more terrifying and weird this game feels.

But now is not the time to explore this matter.

Before the character died, Lin Mo noticed two points.

One is the terrifying huge black shadow at the bottom of the sea.

Perhaps, that is the true nature of the Sea of ​​Fear.

That's really big.

People took one look at it and killed their character instantly.

The other point is good news.

The woman in red that he saw in the makeup mirror before his death was Xi Wenjun.

She was indeed fine.

But he should be trapped in that sea area, and not on the ship, but in the sea.

Because I was in the sea, I saw her in the mirror.

Xi Wenjun must have seen herself at that time.

I just don't know if she recognized it.

No matter what, Xi Wenjun is fine for the time being, which is undoubtedly good news.

Lin Mo looked around at this moment.

Walter White is no longer in private space.

After taking off the VR device, Lin Mo stood up and moved around for a while, then changed his posture and fell asleep.

Walter White was not found either.

"Old White really stayed there!"

After confirming that Lao Bai was no longer standing behind him, Lin Mo felt a little complicated.

I don't know if Lao Bai can leave the Sea of ​​Fear and reach the island. Lin Mo folded a paper crane, wrote Lao Bai's name on it, blew it and let it fly.

If Walter White reached the island, it would mean he was out of the range of the Sea of ​​Fear, and the paper crane would most likely be able to fly back.

Lin Mo wanted to see how long it would take.

In this way, we can also roughly measure the distance.

But the most important thing right now is to find the Silence.

It is not difficult to find a ship in the real world, but it is more difficult to find a ghost ship in the vast sea of ​​the nightmare world.

Lin Mo made up his mind and decided to ask the General Administration to see if there was any information about the "Silence".

After all, the General Administration's archives contain almost all the strange incidents that have been discovered since the nightmare incident. If there is ready-made information, it will be much easier than investigating from scratch.

However, Lin Mo has to go to the General Administration in person for this matter.

I called the director, but no one answered the first time. But he did the second time.

"Have you finally remembered your job?" the director teased on the other end.

"Director, I'm nominally on vacation, but I've actually been busy all the time. You know me. I can't sit still." Lin Mo made up a few nonsense sentences and then applied to return to the General Administration.

The director agreed.

Before leaving, Lin Mo of course had to say hello to his neighbors and his father.

Of course, Doudou had to be brought along this time. After knowing that he had to say goodbye to the other kids, this guy suddenly became quite quiet and even secretly wiped away tears.

Lin Mo took Doudou in his arms and told him such truths as "All good things must come to an end" and "Today's separation means we will meet again in the future."

Doudou stared at me with his big black eyes without a trace of white and said, "I don't understand."

"It's okay, you will understand it slowly. When you understand it, you will grow up." Lin Mo touched Doudou's head and gave him a bowl of chicken soup, ensuring that the little guy would grow up healthily in the future.

If you look closely, this little guy is a little handsome, except that he looks a little purple and has black eyes.

And I don’t know if it’s because I spent a long time with Lin Mo, but the more I look at him, the more he looks like Lin Mo when he was a child.

This is not Lin Mo's own opinion. The first person to discover this was his father.

Dad said that looking at Doudou is like looking at you as a child.

Lin Mo also went to the butcher and told him specifically.

Hearing that it was related to the Glutton, the butcher was silent for a moment and told Lin Mo that he would go too.

"I've been on that ship before. It has special meaning to me." The butcher might be talking about the gluttony curse. Lin Mo also supported the butcher's idea.

"You notify Nie Hong, she will definitely go as well." The butcher added.

Nie Hong is currently at the Black Sheep Mansion in Tunjing City, but it is not difficult to notify Nie Hong. Just ask Bingyangzi Rumeng to go to the Black Sheep Mansion.

If all else fails, Lin Mo could send a letter using a paper crane, which would take seven or eight days to fly back and forth.

"Okay, I'll let her know." Lin Mo knew that if he really wanted to go out to sea this time, he alone would definitely not be enough, and he really needed help.

After coming out of the butcher's house, Lin Mo ran to talk to his father and his mother in the swimming pool.

Dad also wanted to go with him, but Lin Mo refused to let him.

"This matter has nothing to do with you. Besides, the community also needs you to be in charge. And I'm not going alone. Butcher and Nie Hong will go with me, and Doudou will follow me. What are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid you'll lose Doudou." Dad came over and squatted down to play with Doudou.

This has almost become my dad's daily entertainment activity.

Let the grandfather and grandson play, Lin Mo squatted by the swimming pool and chatted with his mother.

Every time he came back, Lin Mo would tell his mother a lot of things.

Although, now his mother is a fish and can't speak, Lin Mo feels that his mother can definitely understand, and she must be particularly interested in knowing his experience.

Otherwise, she must be very bored staying in this pool.

So whenever he has time, Lin Mo will come and nag.

That's really all about the details.

What’s interesting is that whenever Lin Mo comes, the mother in the swimming pool will listen to Lin Mo chattering very quietly. Sometimes, when she hears Lin Mo bragging so much that he goes a little too far, she will even spit a string of bubbles in the water.

"Okay, Mom, I'm going to go out this time. If everything goes well, I may not be back for a few months. You should be well, exercise more, and don't spray water on Dad for no reason. He doesn't even dare to come over and talk to you."

"Also, don't worry about me. Next time I come back, I'll move a small stool, sit here, and tell you in detail about this experience. Aren't you looking forward to it?"

Lin Mo said some random things and then said goodbye to his mother.

Phew!

The mother in the pool jumped out of the water and sprayed a ball of water at Lin Mo.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

Phew!

Another ball of water.

"I know you don't want me to leave, but I'm just out doing something and will be back soon. Why are you scolding me? Dad, hurry up, change someone. Mom wants to scold someone, come here quickly."

There was a lot of chaos.

Lin Mo's instructions before leaving this time have come to an end.

Of course, Lin Mo also greeted the other neighbors. Although everyone was reluctant to leave, they also knew that Lin Mo could not stay in the community forever.

This time Lin Mo was short of manpower, but he did not mobilize the residents of the community.

The main reason is that everyone’s strength has widened compared to mine.

Only people of Doudou's level can truly help him. Even Butcher and Nie Hong are not strong enough.

So let everyone live a peaceful life.

However, there was one resident that Lin Mo particularly wanted to take with him.

When I opened the door of Studio 409, as usual, Zhang Meng was nowhere to be found.

If there was one neighbor that Lin Mote wanted to take away, it would definitely be Zhang Meng.

This guy has reached a new level of staying at home. He never goes out and just likes to wander in different painting worlds.

She is also extremely vigilant and never goes to the painting world that is too dangerous.

Lin Mo gave this guy a nickname, Zhang Meng Little Fox.

Very cunning.

But this time, Lin Mo had made up his mind that no matter what, he had to trick this veteran homebody out.

And she has to be willing to do it.

I still asked the ghosts one by one, asking which painting Zhang Meng was in.

But this time, the ghosts in the paintings all covered their mouths and didn't speak.

"What do you mean? Your skin is itchy?"

Lin Mo raised his voice several degrees, but the painted ghosts still pretended to be confused.

This is obviously wrong.

"Did Zhang Meng tell you to do this?" Lin Mo immediately thought of a possibility, or rather, this was the only possibility.

Unless Zhang Meng issued a gag order, it would be impossible for these ghost painters to not give themselves face.

It’s no wonder that after Lin Mo’s few words, many of the painted ghosts were moved.

It was obvious that he was very conflicted and struggling.

"Besides, I'm the district chief. I have the final say here. Even if Zhang Meng knows, I'm here to protect you. What are you afraid of? Can she still eat you?"

"I declare that whoever tells me where Zhang Meng is, I will promote him/her to the position of floor manager on the 4th floor of Building 2."

There will always be brave men when there is a big reward!

A painted ghost took action.

The other party trembled, with five parts hesitation, four parts fear and one part expectation, and pointed at one of the paintings.

"Got it, brother. You've made a good choice. I declare that from now on, you will be the floor manager of the 4th floor of Building 2. Come on, everyone, give a round of applause to welcome you."

Lin Mo was the first to applaud.

There were a few scattered applause sounds in the room.

"Don't worry, if I say I will protect you, I will definitely protect you."

"If I say I will kill you, I will definitely kill you. How dare you betray me?" Suddenly, Zhang Meng's angry voice came from the painting. Then she jumped out and reached out to grab the ghost in the painting.

It turns out this guy has been hiding in the dark and observing.

Or you could say she is Zhang Meng the little fox, she is really too cunning.

Lin Mo went up and grabbed Zhang Meng.

"Let go, I'm going to strangle this traitor to death." Zhang Meng was furious at this moment. The painted ghost who had been promoted to a 4th-level administrator was obviously scared to death.

If it weren't for Lin Mo's support, it would have been kneeling on the ground begging for mercy.

After much persuasion, he hugged Zhang Meng.

There is no other way, I have to hold her.

Lin Mo and Zhang Meng said, you can’t say I’m a hooligan, you forced me to do it.

"Let me go quickly or I'll strangle you to death!" Zhang Meng was held, unable to move, and could only talk nonsense.

"If I let you go, you'll strangle me to death. I'm stupid. I won't let you go. Think it through before you speak." Lin Mo hugged him tighter.

In the end, Zhang Meng was almost strangled to death.

"Okay, I won't pinch you or it, is that okay?" Zhang Meng gave in.

Mainly in terms of strength, she really can't beat Lin Mo.

"No evidence at all." Lin Mo said.

"Don't push your luck."

"Look, look, I know you are dishonest."

"Let go, I'll fuck you!"

"Don't talk nonsense. My uncle is in the community, and my aunt is also here. They have a good relationship. Don't destroy their family relationship."

"Fuck you!" Zhang Meng was also very angry. Her legs were held tightly together and she couldn't hold Lin Mo. The only thing she could use now was her mouth.

After aiming carefully, he bit Lin Mo's chest.

"Fuck, let go, let go quickly!"

Lin Mo screamed.

Zhang Meng bit the meat, a look of pride and ecstasy on her face.

Relax?

What are you thinking about? I’m going to bite you to death.

"Don't blame me for being unfair if you are unkind." Lin Mo roared in pain, lowered his head and bit Zhang Meng's ear.

"Hey, hey, hey!"

Zhang Meng shuddered all over, like a deflated ball that suddenly went limp.

Lin Mo's attack was a fatal one that hit Zhang Meng's vital points, causing several times the critical hit, and Zhang Meng was defeated instantly.

However, when girls fight, they have one last move, and it is also the most lethal one.

Cry! Zhang Meng cried.

Lin Mo saw that this was a sign of surrender, so he let go of the other person.

The fight between a man and a woman came to an end at this moment.

"Actually, I wanted to say..."

"Don't say anything. I won't listen even if you say it. I don't want to pay attention to you at all."

Zhang Meng glared at Lin Mo viciously at this moment, then turned around and dived into a painting.

I guess what she was thinking was, if you can't afford to offend me, I can afford to hide from you.

Besides, you can't stay here forever. When you leave, I will start with that traitor, and you won't be able to protect him by then.

Zhang Meng is a woman with a strong desire for revenge.

But she didn't know that when she got into the painting, Lin Mo walked over, took down the painting, carried it away, and then stuffed it into a cardboard box.

"All done!"

Lin Mo thought that it would be extremely difficult to persuade Zhang Meng to go with him, so he decided not to persuade her and just took the painting she was in with him.

When the time comes, when she comes out of the painting, there will definitely be a surprise.

So why did he have to bring Zhang Meng along this time? This is what Lin Mo planned.

Zhang Meng's paintings are amazing, so amazing that they can ignore distance and even dimension and directly open a channel. Perhaps, Zhang Meng can draw a scene inside the Glutton, so that it can be connected to the Glutton.

Of course this is not Lin Mo's purpose.

Because even if some kind of painting channel was established with the Glutton, it was still impossible to pull the Glutton out.

To drag it out, a ship at least as large as the Glutton would be needed.

Silence.

If there is any information or even pictures about the Silence, then Zhang Meng will come in handy.

Besides, it's impossible to keep going back to her for this matter.

Lin Mo thought about it and decided to just go all out and take her with him.

All that needed to be done was done. Lin Mo gave instructions to Doudou in the box, asking him to take great care of the paintings in the box.

This time when he went out, the cardboard box was filled with things, including a ghost painting of Zhang Meng hiding, and a ghost painting leading to the second level of dreams. If Lin Mo has time, he will go in to see Liu Jia.

It’s a pity that she can’t come out of the sky city in the second level dream, otherwise, she would definitely be a powerful help.

…

After returning to Qianlong City, Lin Mo went to report to the director first.

The General Administration obviously attaches great importance to the investigation of the "Death Chamber" game and even held a special meeting to learn more about it.

Fortunately, Lin Mo knows a lot about this game and his introduction is quite comprehensive.

After learning that the Death Chamber game could actually connect to the nightmare world, and even deeper dreams, the General Administration's level of attention went up a notch.

All departments of the General Administration were mobilized, and the Academy of Sciences also joined in the research.

It took several days just to do these things.

Lin Mo took a break from his busy schedule and retrieved information related to the "Silence" from the archive system.

Nothing can be found out just by using the three words 'Silence'.

This is normal.

Because Silence is the name given by the captain, if someone sees it, they will most likely call it a 'ghost ship' or 'ghost ship'.

So using these two keywords to search does yield some information, but the amount of information is too much and needs to be screened one by one.

Lin Mo basically spent his free time these days doing this.

Even when Lin Nan came to chat with him, Lin Mo didn't have much time.

Finally, Lin Nan got angry, and Lin Mo played games with this special expert in Lin Nan’s little room for a while.

"I heard that you have been investigating the game "Death Chamber" recently?" Lin Nan asked while holding the controller and playing.

Lin Mo said yes.

"I want to play it too, but unfortunately, that game can only be played in the real world. Oh, it would be great if I wasn't dead."

Seeing that the little guy was a little depressed, Lin Mo began to persuade him.

Let’s just say that the game is not fun at all. In fact, it is just connected to certain scenes in the nightmare world. In essence, it is still in the nightmare world.

"Then I want to play too." Lin Nan shouted.

Lin Mo said that he had to find Professor Xie about this. Maybe Professor Xie and his team could develop VR equipment that can be used in the nightmare world, and then you would be done for.

"That makes sense!" Lin Nan's eyes lit up. The game in his hand suddenly became uninteresting to him and he went out to find Professor Xie.

Lin Mo quickly stuffed a bean into his mouth, woke up, made himself a cup of tea, and sat in front of the computer to continue looking through the files.

From the time the nightmare incident occurred to the present, there are quite a few files involving "ghost ships" and "ghost ships", most of which occurred on the coast or in places near rivers.

Lin Mo excluded places like rivers, lakes, etc.

If the Silence is as huge as the Glutton, then most rivers would not be able to accommodate such a large ship.

Moreover, the captain encountered the Silence at sea, so Lin Mo set his target on the strange incidents that occurred in the sea.

Even though the scope is narrowed, there is still a lot of content.

Apart from attending meetings to report on work, Lin Mo spends the rest of his time reading materials in front of the computer.

"A strange fishing boat incident. Fishing boat? Are you kidding? It's definitely not this. Skip it."

Lin Mo put this file into the recycle bin.

"Ghost ship incident, XX year XX month, a fisherman was at sea last night and saw a red ghost ship in his dream. The ghost ship was a wooden two-masted structure. A wooden ship? Definitely not, skip it."

"There is no island, and there are people singing on the island? Singing a Der, no, let's skip it."

All things are difficult at the beginning. Lin Mo knew that even if he looked through all these files, he might not be able to find the 'Silence' he wanted, but for now, this was the only thing he could do.
